| SAO is the greatest romance story in all of media. |
 |
| My personal fav is Clannad AS. That shit can make you cry for an entire episode. |
   |
| Given is amazing series which shows boys love in very realistic way. |
| I loved Kimi ni Todoke, cute and really sweet, both Kazehaya and Sawako had mutual feelings from the beginning which is a huge plus for me. I still don't get why many consider Toradora to be a good romance anime, Taiga is an abusive bitch who treats Ryuuji like her servant. |
| kaguya sama is sooooo goood you should watch if you havent allready |
 |
| Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen copy pasted it so i dont need more words Big Brain move |
| Toradora and citrus are the better ones in my opinion. |
 Wanna play 8-ball? |

| -Darling In the Franxx -Spice and Wolf -Your Name -Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai -Nisekoi-False Love -Tada Never Falls In Love |
 |
| The top romance that come to mind are Campione, Kamisama Kiss, Record of Grancrest War (smoothest male MC I've ever seen, re the night in the rain), Plastic Memories & maybe Listen to Me Girls, I'm Your Father . |

id522 said: Yeah Clannad definitely made me sad but I didn't cry. Also I love Sakurasou it is one of my favorite anime of all time but I don't look at it as a romance anime. I see it more as a slice of life drama with romantic elements. So I can't call it mr favorite romance anime.Adimus_prime said: Is it bad that I cried to that scene and not Clannad After Story. I cried at both lol, clannad as wrecked me. |

| I really enjoyed Toradora, Tsuki ga Kirei, Given and Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta. It always depends of your anime tastes. |
| I really depends on what you consider "good" romance, and what you mean by romance. I've found there's centrally 3 kinds of romance anime. Japanese adolescent romantic development anime, action/fantasy anime romance (romance isn't the central theme but is very prevalent), and early adult romance. Most anime romance is based off the Japanese conception of adolescent romance (comes out more like puppy love) and so the development of romance is the central, and often the whole anime is just the building of the relationship and by the end the MC's are (somewhat) together. This isn't my favorite kind because the romantic development is extremely slow, and, in my eyes, there isn't a lot of "payoff" (seeing the characters actually interact romantically). Also because of the Japanese conception of closeness, there are many cultural artifacts which are endearing and a "big step" in Japanese culture which are totally insignificant in western culture (like saying the person you likes first name and not their family name). And watching a show just for 4-6 episodes in and the first piece of romantic development is someone calling another person by their first name is pretty infuriating. Action/fantasy anime romance is pretty much what you'd expect (SAO kind of development spread in-between more pressing conflicts). There are many anime where the romance is more central and no so much in the backseat, and I've already seen some here. Early adult romance anime are where the development isn't as drawn out as adolescent romantic development, and more resembles what a mature relationship would look like in terms of actual exposure to romance. My favourite kind undoubtedly. Sorry I didn't give any examples, I really shouldn't be writing this right now but I needed a quick work break. |
| After the Rain Clanna/ After Story Toradora Maid-sama Spice and Wolf Whisper of the Heart |
| My favorite romance anime is different from my favorite romance in anime. Like, Steins;Gate or the Monogatari Series are "romance" (Steins;Gate only barely). I fwe're talking anime that have a super duper heavy focus on romance, I'd say - Kaguya-sama - Bunny Girl Senpai - Your Name - Clannad + Afterstory - Sakuraou no Pet Girl na Kanojo This top 5 is under the assumption that Kyoukai no Kanata, Steins;Gate, Monogatari Series, Fate Series, and Welcome to the NHK don't count |

| Kimagure Orage Road, yeas I know, all characters are scumbags and liars (don't get me started on the stuff that Ayukawa did to her best friend Hikaru, and for what? for a guy), but it has that incredible charm and atmosphere that no romance anime could match. Even now in 2020 and I can't name a better romance that Kimagure |
    |
| Yagate Kimi ni Naru is best romance and people who didn't mention it most likely haven't watched it. |
| SAO ofc, it's SAO. When it comes to Romance I would say it exist different kind of them. You have the comedy type. You have the serious type. You have the harem type. You have the story type. When it comes to Comedy a good one is Nodame, especially the first time you watch it. When it comes to the serious type I would go with like Nana, Fruits Basket and White Album 2. When it comes to the harem type Monongatari, Grisaia, Shield Hero, Slime, Clannad. When it comes to the story type, ROV, Bakuman, Kara no Kyoukai and the Fate serie. Well romance is a amazin genre and it was something I only watched for 2 years more or less all the time. I love romance and I'm so happy about how Fruit Basket turned out to, well done TMS. It exist a lot of good once, I really wish people could start to watch more romance. |

This actually helped out a lot with finding an anime that I actually enjoyed. Thank you for taking the time to right this :) Yeah I've found this is the best way to break down romance anime, most people will drift more towards one of the categories. And no problem, I'm glad I could help! |
| Obligatory Kare Kano mention. Very likeable leads, fast development that actually goes somewhere (and not only at the end) and a great sense of direction. If it's not more popular or highly rated is only because it's too good for its own good for 3/4 of its run, which makes its inconclusive end leave people wanting more (and also because it's from 1998, which is not even that old but yeah). |
 |
| Either Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru or Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen. |
 |
| If you consider Anohana a romance by an change then that'll be it, If you don't then it's Oregairu and if you consider Oregairu a SOL then it's Toradora |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
MavisVermillion- said: My favorite romance of all time is a manga, sadly. Wish it would be made into an anime but it is highly unlikely. It only has a live action movie adaptation. For anime, I have nothing that satisfied me. What is the manga if i may ask? Also to answer the topic: In terms of Romance anime, my favourite would prbly be Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. I'm not such a seasoned Romance watcher as most here though. |
| White Album 2 is overly melodramatic romantic pain, and I enjoyed every second of that shit. Haven't finished Oregairu S3, but I'm assuming that it'll be halfway decent. Otherwise, you've got the obligatory Spice and Wolf, as well as Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei if that counts. |
| Clannad After Story and Honey and Clover |
 |
| Bloom in to you is one of my favorite romance anime... But if you want to watch normal romance stuff then try Toradora Sakurasou no pet na kanajo Golden time |
 |
| Kare Kano. Nothing else comes even close. Though Horimiya from next season could be a contender if done right. |
 |
| Fuck all you niggas who didnt say love chunibyo |
